"Wendy N Becky" [ft. Chance the Rapper]

self-released

Artists:

In the past couple of months, Thelonius Martin has proved to be a reliable provider of nostalgia-inducing boom-bap, most notably with Action Bronson's "Blackbird". He laces Joey Bada$$ with something timeless on the beat for "Wendy N Becky"; a simple sax loop over snares contrasts nicely with some of the more lurid lyrics that Joey's spit thus far. It seems that fame has given the eighteen year old some new experiences to draw on for his raps, and he sounds comfortable playing the alternately exhausted/incorrigible loverman here. A welcome cameo from Chance the Rapper contains a slew of internal rhymes and the most inventive romantic gripe on a song full of them: "Cringe when she grin like the Grinch, that bitch had a little heart."
